Clinical, functional and radiological outcome of unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture treated with proximal femur nail

Objective: To determine the clinical, functional and radiological outcome of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures treated with proximal nailMethods: The study is a prospective on 20 patients to analyse nail conducted in Department Orthopedics at Stanley medical college, Chennai from June 2018 August 2020. Functional was assessed using Harris hip score.Results: fracture were surgically results functionally radiologically analysed. Patients followed up 11months 22 months mean follow 15.9 ± 2.73. Mean space 3months 73.85 3.4, score 6months 85.15 2.66. Radiological Fracture union noted between 12-16 weeks time for 12.90 1.4 weeksConclusion: Intramedullary nailing PFN has distinct advantages over DHS like shorter operating lesser blood loss trochanteric fractures. Early mobilization weight bearing allowed thereby decreasing incidence bedsores, uraemia hypostatic pneumonia. pre-operative postoperative planning correct technique, adequate reaming femoral canal, insertion by hand meticulous placement distal locking screws. significant advancement treatment which unique advantage closed reduction, preservation haematoma, less tissue damage during surgery, early rehabilitation return work.
